Back-to-front URLs

Check your permalink structure in dashboard -> settings -> permalinks. Your permalink structure should not include https://www.messersmith.name/wordpress in it, and instead should only look something like this:

/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/

Thanks, iridiax. I changed it with no ill results. I’ll check my logs to see if it worked. It actually does make sense to me. That’s a rare occurrence.

Whoops, I thought it was working, but now I see a problem.

I enter the string that you gave [ /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ ] into the “Custom Structure” box and select that radio button.

As soon as I click on “Save Changes” when the page reloads, the radio button that has been selected automatically is “Day and name” and the URL is “https://www.messersmith.name/wordpress/2009/08/18/sample-post/”, which DOES include the text that you told me that I should not have.

I don’t know what’s going on here. Any ideas?

Thanks

The Day and Name option just shows you what your post URLs will look like, but its actual structure is the same as the string I gave you, so it’s okay.

Oh, cool. That’s a little confusing for a dummy like me though. So, I’m assuming that I did correctly by putting it into the custom structure field and updating. Thanks for getting me out of that one.

Now, if I can just figure out how to get rid of the 8,500 302 page faults and the 2,800 206 errors, I’ll be all set. (I did another support inquiry post on those.)

I’ll change this one to resolved. – Thanks
